Recently, a small message marked "Warning: Cancer and Reproductive System Damage" on the drum of cooking oil has attracted people's attention, and people are worried that it is the identification of the edible oil containing genetically modified ingredients, because it happened abroad, and the specific situation is unknown, and people's speculation is reasonable.
Some people explain that the warning label of edible oil is a normal behavior stipulated in the P65 bill of California, which is officially known as the "Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Substances Enforcement Act of 1986", which is a regulation for drinking water pollution caused by exposure to toxic chemicals. Therefore, the labeling of edible oil may be due to the plastic packaging barrel of edible oil, not necessarily because it contains genetically modified ingredients. There is also truth to this statement.
There is a well-known GMO science popularizer who gave another explanation, saying that the warning label on the edible oil is not put on by the government and scientists at all, but a conspiracy theory note secretly pasted by a private pheasant science organization in the United States, and the websites and organizations that label this label are using the regular law of California to do anti-intellectual things. He also vowed that "there is no one in the world who is against GMO." ”
If you don't have any evidence, you can conclude that it is a warning label put up by the pheasant organization, and why should you say that "there is no one in the world who opposes genetically modified organisms?" This is said so full that it is too arrogant for any biological scientist in the world to have a scientific spirit.
I clicked on the URL on the warning label, and it was all in English, but it looked legitimate, and it said that the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment had set up this website to provide the public with information about chemicals, products, and locations that are often associated with Proposition 65 warnings. These warnings inform Californians that they are exposed to chemicals that can cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. The website also has information about the governor of California and other government workers, and even photos, which doesn't look like a pheasant website.
Popular science GMO, no one said no, but remember not to talk too much, after all, GMO is still a new thing, there is still a lot of controversy, don't rush to label opponents as "anti-intellectual", the time is very long, and even intergenerational testing, what is the hurry.
